@joshpuckett @maiab yup, product management collapses into design in this new era
very few PMs are actually good product thinkers
English

i think it's shifted to design.*
much of the coordination responsibilities of the product management function are rapidly dwindling, but 'what should we build' is still the key question.
*historically, I think PMs in tech took a lot of the responsibility for the design of a product, despite having teammates with the title "Designer"

We're rolling out a small tweak to boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals (people who you follow back). We noticed this data was missing from the algo and it made your friends appear less in your replies. This resulted in the reply section feeling more like a battleground with people you don't recognize. This should also help clusters form around interests more easily, which many people have asked for.

Looking back, it’s wild that we had some of the smartest people in tech building social apps and dating apps for half a decade

ok! quick updates from me:
- i left anthropic (who does that?!)
- had a baby (i love her)
- and am joining @cursor_ai as head of design (eep!)
it's been a low-key dream of mine to nurture a team that cares so deeply about craft, quality, and building great tools. very excited!
